It’s interesting you say poor “people of all colors” because the opioid crisis really hit poor white folks the hardest, and the Slackers (if the movie Dopesick is accurate in that regard — I haven’t researched it) specifically aimed their initial product rollouts at Appalachia. Meanwhile, white meth heads are filling up rural county jails, and no real concerted effort is made on rehab instead of punishment. It’s pretty sick. Thanks for the read!
